"Militants associated with Islamist group al-Qaeda hijacked..." is relatively straightforward phrase (although "hijacked" is missing a direct object).
"Militants" are violent individuals usually connected with a militia or army.
"associated with" means that the Militants are either under the guidance of or working along side the Islamist group.
"Islamist group" means an organization that believes in forming government based on Islamic principles.
"al-Qaeda" is the name of one particularly violent, persistant, and worldwide Islamist group.
"hijacked" is a past-tense verb denoting the shifting of control of one instrument of travel or directionality to another (undesirable) way.
The Taliban is an Islamic extremist organization and can be found in Afghanistan mostly but they have spread through out the Middle East and most likely through out the world , go to http://bussinessmouse.googlepages.com
The current goal is to establish a pan-Islamic Caliphate throughout the world by working with allied Islamic extremist groups to overthrow regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and expelling Westerners and non-Muslims from Muslim countries. In the early days their firts job was to finance, recruit, transport and train thousands of fighters from dozens of countries to be part of an Afghan resistance to defeat the Soviet Union.
In the early years of Islam, domes were associated with royalty. During the 16tjh-century, Islamic holy buildings began to be built with domes, to create a sense of heavenly transcendence.
Al Quada is active all over the world. It has no host country.
There is no Islamic Empire.
You are most most likely confusing the Taliban with Al'Qaeda. The Reagan administration did indeed provide aid to Al'Qaeda back when it was one of many groups of Islamic militants fighting against the invading Soviet Union. The Taliban, however, was an Islamic extremist group which arose from the aftermath of that war to govern the country in an Islamic theocracy/dictatorship.
No extremism is allowed and/or justified in Islam.

Somalia was torn apart
The world chooses to forget that the Obama administration is a friend of Hamas Islamic extremist, and university of Chicago professor, Rashid Khalidi because there is no substantial proof linking the professor to acts of terrorism.
An example of an extremist group is ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), a terrorist organization known for its brutal tactics, including beheadings and suicide bombings. ISIS seeks to establish a caliphate and impose its extremist interpretation of Islam through violence and terror.

ISIS is an Extremist Islamic Caliphate which fights for the 'purity' of Islam. Anyone who doesn't believe in Islamic traditions/beliefs in the way they perceive it are seen as enemies. Many people devoted to Islam are disgusted by what IS are trying to achieve as what they preach is nothing but hate.
No, radical Islamic militants backed by Middle-Eastern terrorist organization al-Qaeda hijacked two commercial passenger airliners and intentionally piloted them into the Twin Towers of the Original World Trade Center in New York City, compromising the structural integrity of the towers and resulting in their structural failure, tragically killing thousands of innocent civilians. When you joke about this event, you metaphorically spit in the faces of the 3,000 families that lost someone that day, not to mention every American with even the slightest sense of patriotism.
ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It is a militant group known for its extremist ideology and violent tactics.
On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.
